NELLY
When we received Nelly she was tested for heartworm, just like all our dogs are. Usually, and thankfully, the test comes back negative. Unfortunately in Nelly's case it came back positive. What's worse is the heartworm has invaded her lungs. She is currently under treatment and is faring well. Nelly is five plus years, a Shepherd/Husky mix, and a bona fide escape artist. This is a real problem especially now, because heartworm patients are to be kept quiet, calm, and only have a minimum of exercise. She was climbing the fence at her foster home so rapidly, she had to be returned to the shelter. This atmosphere is stressful for her there, and she desparately needs a loving and understanding foster home again. If you think you might be able to help with Nelly, please e-mail us. Nelly also needs a sponsor to help pay for her heartworm treatments. Nelly gets along with most dogs, and is okay with some cats, and good with kids. She loves to snuggle, eat people food (do you know a dog who doesn't?!) and thinks laps are a very good place to sit. Nelly is also housetrained.
